With ppc64 we use the deposited pgtable_t to store the hash pte slot
information. We should not withdraw the deposited pgtable_t without
marking the pmd none. This ensure that low level hash fault handling
will skip this huge pte and we will handle them at upper levels.
Recent change to pmd splitting changed the above in order to handle the
race between pmd split and exit_mmap. The race is explained below.
Consider following race:
CPU0 CPU1
shrink_page_list()
add_to_swap()
split_huge_page_to_list()
__split_huge_pmd_locked()
pmdp_huge_clear_flush_notify()
// pmd_none() == true
exit_mmap()
unmap_vmas()
zap_pmd_range()
// no action on pmd since pmd_none() == true
pmd_populate()
As result the THP will not be freed. The leak is detected by check_mm():
BUG: Bad rss-counter state mm:ffff880058d2e580 idx:1 val:512
The above required us to not mark pmd none during a pmd split.
The fix for ppc is to clear the huge pte of _PAGE_USER, so that low
level fault handling code skip this pte. At higher level we do take ptl
lock. That should serialze us against the pmd split. Once the lock is
acquired we do check the pmd again using pmd_same. That should always
return false for us and hence we should retry the access. We do the
pmd_same check in all case after taking plt with
THP (do_huge_pmd_wp_page, do_huge_pmd_numa_page and
huge_pmd_set_accessed)
Also make sure we wait for irq disable section in other cpus to finish
before flipping a huge pte entry with a regular pmd entry. Code paths
like find_linux_pte_or_hugepte depend on irq disable to get
a stable pte_t pointer. A parallel thp split need to make sure we
don't convert a pmd pte to a regular pmd entry without waiting for the
irq disable section to finish.

When PE is created, its primary bus is cached to pe->bus. At later
point, the cached primary bus is returned from eeh_pe_bus_get().
However, we could get stale cached primary bus and run into kernel
crash in one case: full hotplug as part of fenced PHB error recovery
releases all PCI busses under the PHB at unplugging time and recreate
them at plugging time. pe->bus is still dereferencing the PCI bus
that was released.
This adds another PE flag (EEH_PE_PRI_BUS) to represent the validity
of pe->bus. pe->bus is updated when its first child EEH device is
online and the flag is set. Before unplugging in full hotplug for
error recovery, the flag is cleared.

If a cpu is hotplugged while the hcall trace points are active, it's
possible to hit a warning from RCU due to the trace points calling into
RCU from an offline cpu, eg:
RCU used illegally from offline CPU!
rcu_scheduler_active = 1, debug_locks = 1
Make the hypervisor tracepoints conditional by using
TRACE_EVENT_FN_COND.

The four cpumasks cpu_{possible,online,present,active}_bits are exposed
readonly via the corresponding const variables cpu_xyz_mask. But they are
also accessible for arbitrary writing via the exposed functions
set_cpu_xyz. There's quite a bit of code throughout the kernel which
iterates over or otherwise accesses these bitmaps, and having the access
go via the cpu_xyz_mask variables is nowadays [1] simply a useless
indirection.
It may be that any problem in CS can be solved by an extra level of
indirection, but that doesn't mean every extra indirection solves a
problem. In this case, it even necessitates some minor ugliness (see
4/6).
Patch 1/6 is new in v2, and fixes a build failure on ppc by renaming a
struct member, to avoid problems when the identifier cpu_online_mask
becomes a macro later in the series. The next four patches eliminate the
cpu_xyz_mask variables by simply exposing the actual bitmaps, after
renaming them to discourage direct access - that still happens through
cpu_xyz_mask, which are now simply macros with the same type and value as
they used to have.
After that, there's no longer any reason to have the setter functions be
out-of-line: The boolean parameter is almost always a literal true or
false, so by making them static inlines they will usually compile to one
or two instructions.
For a defconfig build on x86_64, bloat-o-meter says we save ~3000 bytes.
We also save a little stack (stackdelta says 127 functions have a 16 byte
smaller stack frame, while two grow by that amount). Mostly because, when
iterating over the mask, gcc typically loads the value of cpu_xyz_mask
into a callee-saved register and from there into %rdi before each
find_next_bit call - now it can just load the appropriate immediate
address into %rdi before each call.
[1] See Rusty's kind explanation
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/2047078/focus=2047722 for
some historic context.
This patch (of 6):
As preparation for eliminating the indirect access to the various global
cpu_*_bits bitmaps via the pointer variables cpu_*_mask, rename the
cpu_online_mask member of struct fadump_crash_info_header to simply
online_mask, thus allowing cpu_online_mask to become a macro.

To date, we have implemented two I/O usage models for persistent memory,
PMEM (a persistent "ram disk") and DAX (mmap persistent memory into
userspace). This series adds a third, DAX-GUP, that allows DAX mappings
to be the target of direct-i/o. It allows userspace to coordinate
DMA/RDMA from/to persistent memory.
The implementation leverages the ZONE_DEVICE mm-zone that went into
4.3-rc1 (also discussed at kernel summit) to flag pages that are owned
and dynamically mapped by a device driver. The pmem driver, after
mapping a persistent memory range into the system memmap via
devm_memremap_pages(), arranges for DAX to distinguish pfn-only versus
page-backed pmem-pfns via flags in the new pfn_t type.
The DAX code, upon seeing a PFN_DEV+PFN_MAP flagged pfn, flags the
resulting pte(s) inserted into the process page tables with a new
_PAGE_DEVMAP flag. Later, when get_user_pages() is walking ptes it keys
off _PAGE_DEVMAP to pin the device hosting the page range active.
Finally, get_page() and put_page() are modified to take references
against the device driver established page mapping.
Finally, this need for "struct page" for persistent memory requires
memory capacity to store the memmap array. Given the memmap array for a
large pool of persistent may exhaust available DRAM introduce a
mechanism to allocate the memmap from persistent memory. The new
"struct vmem_altmap *" parameter to devm_memremap_pages() enables
arch_add_memory() to use reserved pmem capacity rather than the page
allocator.
This patch (of 18):
The core has developed a need for a "pfn_t" type [1]. Move the existing
pfn_t in KVM to kvm_pfn_t [2].

With new refcounting we don't need to mark PMDs splitting. Let's drop
code to handle this.
pmdp_splitting_flush() is not needed too: on splitting PMD we will do
pmdp_clear_flush() + set_pte_at(). pmdp_clear_flush() will do IPI as
needed for fast_gup.

The recently added OPAL API call, OPAL_CONSOLE_FLUSH, originally took no
parameters and returned nothing. The call was updated to accept the
terminal number to flush, and returned various values depending on the
state of the output buffer.
The prototype has been updated and its usage in the OPAL kmsg dumper has
been modified to support its new behaviour as an incremental flush.

"All kinds of stuff. That probably should've been 5 or 6 separate
branches, but by the time I'd realized how large and mixed that bag
had become it had been too close to -final to play with rebasing.
Some fs/namei.c cleanups there, memdup_user_nul() introduction and
switching open-coded instances, burying long-dead code, whack-a-mole
of various kinds, several new helpers for ->llseek(), assorted
cleanups and fixes from various people, etc.
One piece probably deserves special mention - Neil's
lookup_one_len_unlocked(). Similar to lookup_one_len(), but gets
called without ->i_mutex and tries to avoid ever taking it. That, of
course, means that it's not useful for any directory modifications,
but things like getting inode attributes in nfds readdirplus are fine
with that. I really should've asked for moratorium on lookup-related
changes this cycle, but since I hadn't done that early enough... I
*am* asking for that for the coming cycle, though - I'm going to try
and get conversion of i_mutex to rwsem with ->lookup() done under lock
taken shared.
There will be a patch closer to the end of the window, along the lines
of the one Linus had posted last May - mechanical conversion of
->i_mutex accesses to inode_lock()/inode_unlock()/inode_trylock()/
inode_is_locked()/inode_lock_nested(). To quote Linus back then:
-----

Swapoff after swapping hangs on the G5, when CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE=y
but CONFIG_MEM_SOFT_DIRTY is not set. That's because the non-zero
_PAGE_SWP_SOFT_DIRTY bit, added by CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_SOFT_DIRTY=y, is not
discounted when CONFIG_MEM_SOFT_DIRTY is not set: so swap ptes cannot be
recognized.
(I suspect that the peculiar dependence of HAVE_ARCH_SOFT_DIRTY on
CHECKPOINT_RESTORE in arch/powerpc/Kconfig comes from an incomplete
attempt to solve this problem.)
It's true that the relationship between CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_SOFT_DIRTY and
and CONFIG_MEM_SOFT_DIRTY is too confusing, and it's true that swapoff
should be made more robust; but nevertheless, fix up the powerpc ifdefs
as x86_64 and s390 (which met the same problem) have them, defining the
bits as 0 if CONFIG_MEM_SOFT_DIRTY is not set.

Core kernel expects swp_entry_t to consist of only swap type and swap
offset. We should not leak pte bits into swp_entry_t. This breaks
swapoff which use the swap type and offset to build a swp_entry_t and
later compare that to the swp_entry_t obtained from linux page table
pte. Leaking pte bits into swp_entry_t breaks that comparison and
results in us looping in try_to_unuse.
The stack trace can be anywhere below try_to_unuse() in mm/swapfile.c,
since swapoff is circling around and around that function, reading from
each used swap block into a page, then trying to find where that page
belongs, looking at every non-file pte of every mm that ever swapped.

On BMC machines, console output is controlled by the OPAL firmware and is
only flushed when its pollers are called. When the kernel is in a panic
state, it no longer calls these pollers and thus console output does not
completely flush, causing some output from the panic to be lost.
Output is only actually lost when the kernel is configured to not power off
or reboot after panic (i.e. CONFIG_PANIC_TIMEOUT is set to 0) since OPAL
flushes the console buffer as part of its power down routines. Before this
patch, however, only partial output would be printed during the timeout wait.
This patch adds a new kmsg_dumper which gets called at panic time to ensure
panic output is not lost. It accomplishes this by calling OPAL_CONSOLE_FLUSH
in the OPAL API, and if that is not available, the pollers are called enough
times to (hopefully) completely flush the buffer.
The flushing mechanism will only affect output printed at and before the
kmsg_dump call in kernel/panic.c:panic(). As such, the "end Kernel panic"
message may still be truncated as follows:

Currently we copy the whole mm_context_t to the paca but only access a
few bits of it. This is wasteful of space paca and also takes quite
some time in the hot path of context switching.
This patch pulls in only the required bits from the mm_context_t to
the paca and on context switch, copies only those.
Benchmarking this (On top of Anton's recent MSR context switching
changes [1]) using processes and yield shows an improvement of almost
3% on POWER8:

NVLink is a high speed interconnect that is used in conjunction with a
PCI-E connection to create an interface between CPU and GPU that
provides very high data bandwidth. A PCI-E connection to a GPU is used
as the control path to initiate and report status of large data
transfers sent via the NVLink.
On IBM Power systems the NVLink processing unit (NPU) is similar to
the existing PHB3. This patch adds support for a new NPU PHB type. DMA
operations on the NPU are not supported as this patch sets the TCE
translation tables to be the same as the related GPU PCIe device for
each NVLink. Therefore all DMA operations are setup and controlled via
the PCIe device.
EEH is not presently supported for the NPU devices, although it may be
added in future.

User space checkpoint and restart tool (CRIU) needs the page's change
to be soft tracked. This allows to do a pre checkpoint and then dump
only touched pages.
This is done by using a newly assigned PTE bit (_PAGE_SOFT_DIRTY) when
the page is backed in memory, and a new _PAGE_SWP_SOFT_DIRTY bit when
the page is swapped out.
To introduce a new PTE _PAGE_SOFT_DIRTY bit value common to hash 4k
and hash 64k pte, the bits already defined in hash-*4k.h should be
shifted left by one.
The _PAGE_SWP_SOFT_DIRTY bit is dynamically put after the swap type in
the swap pte. A check is added to ensure that the bit is not
overwritten by _PAGE_HPTEFLAGS.

The STD_EXCEPTION_PSERIES macro takes both a vector number, and a
location (memory address). However both are always identical, so combine
them to save repeating ourselves.
This does mean an exception handler must always exist at the location in
memory that matches its vector number. But that's OK because this is the
"STD" macro (standard), which does exactly that. We have other macros
for the other cases, eg. STD_EXCEPTION_PSERIES_OOL (out of line).

Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au>

HMT_MEDIUM_PPR_DISCARD is a macro which is present at the start of most
of our first level exception handlers. It conditionally executes a
HMT_MEDIUM instruction, which sets the processor priority to medium.
On on modern systems, ie. Power7 and later, it is nop'ed out at boot.
All it does is make the exception vectors more cramped, and consume 4
bytes of icache.
On old systems it has the effect of boosting the processor priority at
the start of exception processing. If we were previously in the idle
loop for example, we may be at low or very low priority. This is
desirable as we want to process the exception as fast as possible.
However looking closely at the generated code, we see that in all cases
we execute another HMT_MEDIUM just four instructions later. With code
patching applied, the final code on an old (Power6) system will look
like, eg:
c000000000000300 <data_access_pSeries>:
c000000000000300: 7c 42 13 78 mr r2,r2 <-
c000000000000304: 7d b2 43 a6 mtsprg 2,r13
c000000000000308: 7d b1 42 a6 mfsprg r13,1
c00000000000030c: f9 2d 00 80 std r9,128(r13)
c000000000000310: 60 00 00 00 nop
c000000000000314: 7c 42 13 78 mr r2,r2 <-
So I suggest that the added code complexity of HMT_MEDIUM_PPR_DISCARD is
not justified by the benefit of boosting the processor priority for the
duration of four instructions, and therefore we drop it.
